Description

Cattleya 2022 'The Initiation' Syrah, Santa Lucia HighlandsCattleya is a new label from winemaker Bibiana Gonzlez Rave. Highly recommended. Only 115 cases were produced. 97 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Syrah The Initiation is compelling on the nose, lifting with notes of dark wet stones as well as blackberries, pepper oils, lavender, and black olives, all so well intertwined. Medium to full bodied on the palate, it has a silky texture, with sweet tannins (although its fully dry), and has a precise feel, with

velvety textured 2022 that has darker fruits as well as some savory flower
